We are looking at replacing our kitchen but because it's small and i'd like to keep my pantry, it's proving tricky to design. A kitchen designer has suggested this but i'm worried that the workspace on the left would be awkward as hubby and I are both righthanded so I imagine us reaching over cooker into the corner and knocking pan handles sling the way 
I also have pelvic problems which make repeated twisting rather painful. Our only other option is to have the cooker at the end of the run against a wall. Not ideal but This is where the cooker is and it seems to work ok apart from the fact that a new cooker would be closer to tge wall as we presently have a gap of about 5-10 cm.
Any opinions welcome
